Joseph retells the Biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors as an energetic, family-friendly musical. Audiences will follow Joseph as he outwits his unethical brothers, journeys from slave to prophet, and eventually attempts to reunite with his long-lost family.

This is the second collaboration of Center Stage, Three Rivers College’s blended community/student theater company directed by Tim Thompson, and the college’s Music Department, led by Cindy White.

“Joseph is one of the most entertaining musicals ever written, in my opinion. It’s energetic, it’s colorful, the songs will stick in your head for days,” Thompson said. “We have such a great bunch of singers and actors in the region, and they’ve really brought the show to life.”

“What I love about this musical is that there is a little bit of everything,” Thompson said. “You have action, comedy, and danger. It really does have something for everyone. It’s something you can bring the whole family to.”

The director for this production of Joseph is Tim Thompson, with Cindy White as music director /conductor. Members of the production crew are Robert Abney, tech director, and Sade Higgins-McDonald, stage manager.
